He is accompanied by colorful flight attendants and stewards including, for example, Camille Chamoux and Tristan Lopin. On the ground, Flywingz employees are not really more competent. Comedian Doully plays a completely crazy chef, Nikki. Manu Payet is also part of the cast.
Canal+ subscribers are not kind to Terminal
Subscribers may well have jumped on Terminal upon its release, their reviews were far from glowing. On Critical sense, the sitcom only gets a rating of 2.6/10. The comments are not kind at all to the new Canal+ creation. Some even speak of “mediocrity and distressing nullity”. Others are more nuanced, evoking a style “kitsch” And “not subtle” but which allows you to benefit from a program “light”.
